FS: Cannondale System Six NOS

Cool, thanks. Be good.

Excellent. Full on crack head.

Don't judge or condemn. A little high every now and then is good for the soul..... okay a price edit will be 1300 with spare cranks but no saddle. I know I like the build but any less that would prob cost money to me and do we think its worth 15% more than another build with all higher spec components and unused....? FYI, calling me a crack head is fun and I respect that but respect t the boundaries also and it's very close to them. That's just my general perspective however obscure you think it is, you still need to respect people in the forum and in threads and if you cannot do so then remove yourself from the thread.

Nice evening, quite temperate. Sky's not clear but still, slightly warmer for it.

I saw a tweet earlier where some workman brought his pet pug to work with him on site wearing a little hi Vis jacket. That was quite something, I appreciated it.

Are you offended, or is it fun?

Do you respect it, or do you think I’m being disrespectful?

Should I have fun, or should I remove myself?

Have you listed your bike for sale at a massively over-inflated price, or is it “worth it”......

....... I am confuse.

let's say you walked into any bicycle retailer and told them I want 40% off the frame and groupset because you've mounted the groupset to the frame...?

But you're not a bike shop, you're just a guy online who's put some parts on a frame and made everything worth less than it was separately.

And shit, plenty of bikes are sold at 40% off retail after not very long with full guarantees/warranties.

Damn if this was a 54cm frame I'd have snapped it up for £3500 easy. Everyone knows the red colourway ones go faster than the black/grey colourway ones.

Easy to be confused, let's say your def exaggerating and I was merely trying to subtlety tell you to respect the boundaries of others whilst you liberally throw around words like crack head, you have no idea what some people may have been touched with in their life and I was simply trying g to identify with you that if you couldn't address whatever issues you have going on from your current status in life or indeed earlier childhood pathological behaviour that was not ridiculed that was leading to an over exaggeration "massively over priced"of a current listing of 1300 with other examples foing for 1100 used and less specd then we know your just getting agitated and trying to shit on the thread, if you cant talk then just leave.

I'm going to make myself an infusion. Bring your mug to the kitchen.

They are sold at even less, current tly wiggle have the mechanical version for like 900, I know that the hydraulic ones are more expensive. Like current tly online I can only find brake lever and brake front and rear for 600 retail, I have that wifli yaw front and rear derailleurs, crankset and cassette included in the price, I've well seen used dura ace groupsets mechanical 22 speeds well used going for 600 here. True or not true. How do you think the price is unfair?

Oh mate I need a fucking hug at this stage...... lol

just for arguments sake, let's say you walked into any bicycle retailer and told them I want 40% off the frame and groupset because you've mounted the groupset to the frame...?

Um, yes, that's how ready built bikes are priced, more or less.

You're the expert.

mate...

Keep it. Sell your computer and phone instead pls.

No their not as that type of behaviour in the market would destabilise it, you will find across the board with every brand as seasons pass that the only thing that will devalue stock is time and the release of newer versions in order to drive the market, however, if the fame price did not reflect the respective value of the components in its current market then it would be literally ....... fucked, your basically saying a frame that costs 3 grand is 3 grand when its alone and with 3 grands worth of components, its 4 grand. You'll find when the market takes that type of behaviour, both frame and components have devalued equally due to the new direction of the market.

Um, yes, that's how ready built bikes are priced, more or less.

....

More waffle.

Uh oh ..

You do know that bike manufacturers don't pay full retail price for the components right?

I had exposure and the pleasure of working in an east London distribution company

Do you mean BLB?

Your trying to contradict, I'm just leaving a healthy discussion open, if you don't feel up to sourcing examples to show me that my valuation of unused product is 40% of what it retails for then why bother getting involved. Your not as quick to say my reasoning is fair as you are to jump on the band wagon. 600 for that groupset is a fair price point. At this stage to lower the price, I would need serious examples and to he honest with the cranks never even mounted i wouldn't be going any less, i will actually donate to the forum if you can come up with exactly why the groupset should be less than 600. I'll donate 20 quid and if you cant then you donate 20 quid??? I'll start a new thread if your up for it?

Really think that everyone is flapping around for no reason here.... £1300 at Evans will get you a basic alu BMC with Tiagra. This at the time was a top top end frame (only 12 years ago?) With a custom set of wheels, quality finishing kit and a groupset that give or take is particularly rare... And for all we know it hasn’t even been for a test ride! Let’s all cut the fella some slack and wish him luck with the sale. Let’s face it this is a pretty badass build no??? Even if it boils down to being split again. Cheers

If I were the OP I'd close this thread, and then break the bike and list the parts individually.

This particular thread is heading to nowhere good, and before it becomes (more of) a slanging match now would be the time to close it.

your basically saying a frame that costs 3 grand is 3 grand when its alone and with 3 grands worth of components, its 4 grand

Pretty much, and a quick analysis of the retail prices of frames and ready built bikes, in those instances where the manufacturer offers either option, bears this out. Obviously the effect in percentage terms is stronger at the lower end, but in general for bikes sold with metal wheels, the complete bike is usually priced at about the sum of the separate frameset price plus the groupset price, with the wheels and finishing kit effectively free.

So was my 585, and I got it genuinely NOS half price 10 years ago because it was 2 years out of date...
